Karina Smirnoff hasn’t set a date for her wedding to fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy , but she’s already set on the dress. Look back on stars who got married last year. “I definitely want that fairy tale, big skirt ball gown,” she told Usmagazine.com at Wednesday’s Russian Heritage Festival in NYC. “When else can you wear that?” Other than that, the couple — who got engaged this past New Year’s Day — is just beginning to plan the affair. See photos of other stars who got engaged this year! “We had our first meeting with the wedding planner, and we’re really excited,” she told Us . “He is amazing, and we’re finalizing all the details.” Smirnoff said the nuptials — likely to take place next summer — will be in New York. “He wants it in New York, and if that makes him happy, I’m sure I’m going to earn brownie points,” she tells Us . Chmerkovskiy added: “And that will make 90 percent of our friends happy!” See amazing body makeovers from Dancing With the Stars . Besides the wedding planning, the two are keeping busy during their hiatus from DWTS . They will perform in Broadway’s Burn The Floor , which begins its limited run on July 25. “We’re hopefully going to burn it up and everyone will love it,” she told Us . “It’s not just dancing like you see on Dancing With the Stars . It’s dancing with a storyline, with costumes and it’s a little more of a production. It’s very sexy and very intriguing, so we can’t wait to start it.” How does Smirnoff, 31, and Chmerkovskiy, 29, balance their professional and personal lives together? “It’s a very fine line,” she said. “When you come home, work is work and you have to just be with each other. But it’s not easy. We’re very stubborn, two Capricorns, so we’re working very hard at it.”
Don’t ask DWTS ‘ Karina Smirnoff how her wedding planning is going. “I don’t want to talk about the wedding because it’s stressing me out,” she told Usmagazine.com Monday at Nylon ’s Young Hollywood bash Monday in Hollywood. “I just going to enjoy not planning the wedding for a little bit.” Smirnoff, 31 - who got engaged to Makism Chmerkovskiy , 29, this past New Year’s Day - told Us she won’t go overboard with the ceremony. (She has said her former partner Steve Wozniak will be in it .) See who else got engaged this year “Maks said it earlier — which is so true — we’ve made that step, we want to be together, so I guess the wedding is more for our family and friends to celebrate,” she told Us . “And they are very patient with us.” See funny photos of the new DWTS cast rehearsing (Steve-O puts a bike on his nose) When can we expect them to walk down the aisle? “I think definitely next year,” she said. “I’m hoping maybe June next year.” Check out DWTS members’ amazing makeovers She is already making sure she stays in shape. “I work out almost every day,” Smirnoff said. “I probably take one or two days off at most a week. I do Bikram yoga, I dance, I do cardio. I try to keep my body guessing what the next thing is going to be, and it actually works, so I don’t get as sore.”

Steve Wozniak really has something to dance about! The Apple billionaire and co-founder has gotten so close to his Dancing With the Stars partner, Karina Smirnoff , that he got an invitation to her upcoming wedding to fellow dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy . See funny photos of the new DWTS cast rehearsing. “She said I could walk her down the aisle, and it touched my heart,” Wozniak told The Insider on Thursday. But if Wozniak plans to take the that walk without pain, he will have to nurse his current injuries — he has a fractured foot and a pulled hamstring. Check out some of DWTS ‘ most over-the-top outfits! “He’s a little out of his element but has the biggest personality you’ll ever meet,” Smirnoff said about her dancing partner. “He’s super funny and super charming.” The dancing couple have begun planning their wedding, which will take place before the year is up. Take a look back at the stars who said “I Do!” last year. “We started talking about it and figuring out when and where we’re going to have it,” Smirnoff told Us last month. “But there’s so many family members that have a say that we got to try to make sure that everyone will be happy. But we think it will be sometime before the end of this year. So, not so long.” Chmerkovskiy, who danced with Denise Richards , was ousted this week. Wozniak and Smirnoff, despite low scores from the judges, are still in the competition.
